Travis + Kelly

Travis & Kelly are getting married in Louisiana (where they live) next year, but wanted a taste of California (where they met) for their engagement photos. So they flew out this last weekend to hang out with me and my camera. Talk about a huge honor!

Jeff + Becky [Santa Margarita, CA]

Reasons why Jeff and Becky are awesome:

#1 - they are up for anything and everything (including riding in backs of trucks to find ancient tractors).

#2 - them AND their friends don't mess around when it comes to "jumping" for photos.

#3 - they are truly, madly, deeply in love.

You can check out their engagement photos HERE :)

Stephen + Kelly

People who are up to do anything and everything for the sake of a photograph make my job so much fun. People like the Stelly. Fo Sho.

Blaine + Jenna

This is my cousin Jenna and her sweetheart of a boyfriend, Blaine.

Jenna just moved to Santa Barbara (from Bellingham, Washington) to go to school and pursue a career in photography (a woman after my own heart). You can see what she does by clicking HERE. Anyways, on their road trip moving her to Santa Barbara, they stopped by and stayed in good old Atascadero with us. Her birthday just happens to be tomorrow... and she said all she wanted for her birthday was pictures of her and Blaine. Sooooooo without further ado.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DARLING SISTOUSIN!!!!!!!!!! I love you :)
... and now you can see that we are DEFINITELY related :)

Marissa

Marissa's parents gave me my very first job, which was to take excellent care of Marissa and her little brother. We had quite the array of babysitting adventures together. And now.... she's graduating. Where, oh where have the years gone!?!?!? PLUS she plays the banjo now... jealous much? I think so indeed.
